Dear Mr. Warner:1 It was typically kind of you to express the wish to do something to relieve the inevitable monotony that comes into the life of anyone who is even partially physically incapacitated. Bob Jones could scarcely be called a "sick" man.2 My impression is that he has attained the maximum level of recovery from a very serious condition. His ability to move around is very greatly limited, but he does enjoy having about him all his old friends and finds diversion in a number of hobbies--good music and so on. His morale seems to be very fine indeed.

In the circumstances, I can think of nothing to suggest to you, but I shall certainly take the opportunity, the next time I write to him, to tell him of your nice suggestion.3 Very sincerely

1 Warner was president of Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. Born in Russia in 1881, Warner had played an important role in the history of the motion-picture industry and had aided the development of feature-length movies with sound and color.

2 On Jones's illness see no. 98.

3 On April 15 Warner had written to Eisenhower asking if he could do anything to help Jones (AWF/N, Roberts Corr.).
